Would you like a prescription lens?

Standard surfacing can cause distortion in the peripheral portions of an Rx lens. This distortion is magnified in wrapped lenses. Free form surfacing eliminates the “Fishbowl Effect” associated with standard surfacing on wrapped lenses.

Single Vision Rx Lenses

Single Vision lenses correct distance vision only. There is no magnification for reading in the bottom of the lens. If you don't wear reading glasses, choose a Single Vision lens here.

Progressive Rx Lenses

Progressive lenses have a reading area in the lower portion of the lens that gets progressively stronger toward the bottom of the lens. These are useful if you need to see your phone or read a trail map.

We typically use Short Corridor Progressive lenses in sports eyewear. You can expect the reading area in our sports sunglasses to be slightly lower than your everyday Progressive lenses. We are assuming that distance vision is a bigger priority than near vision.

Lined Bifocal

This type of lens is not available with Free-Form lens surfacing. The top portion of the lens will have your distance prescription with standard surfacing, and everything below the line will be your reading prescription.

Selecting a Lens Material:

There are only two unbreakable lens materials: Polycarbonate and Trivex. CR-39 is a plastic lens material that we rarely use in sports eyewear. But the shield lens on a goggle is made of polycarbonate, so CR-39 can be used in insert lenses.

If you ski competitively or aggressively, we recommend one of the unbreakable options.Polycarbonate has been a popular lens choice in sports eyewear for decades. Trivex was developed by the US Military as an improvement on polycarbonate. Trivex has a higher Abbe Value than polycarbonate, so there is less Chromatic Abrasion in a Trivex lens (less peripheral color distortion).

When you check the â€śYesâ€ť box for â€śSend a Try-Out Pair Firstâ€ť the price of the prescription lens you selected will be deducted from your total. We will send you a non-prescription version of this frame to try on, and you will receive a 100% refund on the frame as soon as it is returned. Your only expense to try on these frames is the cost of return shipping. (We pay for the outbound shipping, but not the return shipping.)

You can order as many tryout frames as you like, you're under no obligation to order prescription lenses, and there is never a restocking fee. We want you to be absolutely certain you are enthusiastic about wearing these frames before we make your prescription lenses.

If you like the glasses, email us at [email protected] or call (800) 381-9083 toll-free and confirm that you want the prescription version. Then return the Try-Out pair of glasses in the same box that we used to ship them to you. Include all the original documentation and accessories that were with the glasses when you received them. If you do NOT return the glasses, or if they are not in re-sellable condition, you will not receive your refund. For this reason, we recommend insuring these glasses in transit.
